Absolutely the WORST restaurant experience I have EVER had. Customer service 00000. Be careful they overcharge.

I discovered Cafe selam and it's as good as it gets. I eat at Ethiopian restaurants around the country and the combination of excellent food and service from the long time owners is amazing.

We have tried multiple Ethiopian restaurants in Seattle and we have given up trying to find a better place. Amazing hole in the wall. For two people, order the veggie combo and the meat combo and have them put both on one plate to share. It's more than enough food. They are not afraid of flavor or spice here.

I had the Foul with an extra egg (breakfast dish). Really delicious, and more than I could finish. The bread was light and fluffy with a perfectly crunchy crust. So good! I look forward to coming back for lunch or dinner. As for its atmosphere, hey, it’s just a little small business and so one’s expectations should not be on the atmosphere. That said, I found it to be homey and inviting in its own way. Highly recommend.

The food’s great but the staff isn’t super fluent in english. They counted 3 people and just bought out a tonne of meat. For the vegeterian combo they gave less quantities presuming it’s a side. I wasn’t able to explain to them that I don’t eat meat and wanted an entree’s worth of vegetarian food😅

Best food and service in town, so delicious. At least try once and you wont forget the taste, you will be keep door dashing or coming back to this place.

MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT YOUR CHECK!The server tried to give me the total rather than an itemized bill. When I asked to see it, I saw that they had over-charged me. She had some odd explanations as to why, and eventually removed the charges but I wonder if that's just how they do business.

Incredible food, some of the best Ethiopian dishes we’ve ever had. Very cozy space and great service. Parking is a bit tricky, but we found street parking. Definitely check them out.
